Senior Day for 16th-ranked Utah Football precedes regular season finale at Rice-Eccles Stadium
SALT LAKE CITY – Senior Day for the 16th-ranked Utah Utes takes place Friday, Nov. 26, when the Colorado Buffaloes visit Salt Lake City for the 2021 regular season finale. The game between the Pac-12 South champion Utes (8-3, 7-1 Pac-12) and the Buffaloes (4-7, 3-5) is set to kick off at 2 p.m. and will be broadcast by FOX.
Â
The expected 70th consecutive sellout crowd at Rice-Eccles Stadium will see the Utes seeking to complete an undefeated home season for the second time in the past three seasons and just the fourth time in school history. The previous instances came in 2008 (6-0), '09 (6-0) and '19 (7-0). Utah will take on the winner of the Pac-12 North in the Pac-12 Championship Game in Las Vegas next Friday, Dec. 3, at 5 p.m. PT.
Â
Ticket holders are encouraged to continue to download both their digital game tickets and parking passes to the wallet on their smartphone before leaving for the stadium, using the new digital ticketing and parking procedures this season. Further instructions are available at the link above, and in the sections below.
Â
In accordance with state law, the University is not requiring attendees of University events to wear masks, or to prove vaccination status. However, consistent with the University's messaging, Utah Athletics is strongly encouraging fans to wear masks when attending games, in the interests of health and safety.
To speed entry into the stadium, the new entrance at Gate L on the southeast corner, off 500 South, is equipped with the largest number of ticket scanners to handle a high volume of traffic. All who park in campus lots—especially east and just northeast of the stadium—would benefit from traveling by foot to 500 South, walking west on the sidewalk and approaching Gate L from the southeast. All who park in the west lot, but sit in either the east or south stands, also would benefit from entering through Gate L. A parking map with walking routes identified can be found here. Gates open two hours before kickoff.

In addition, rides on UTA buses, TRAX and FrontRunner trains are free for ticketholders by displaying a valid game ticket, including the new postgame bus service from the stadium to the Court House TRAX station. For more information please visit UTA.com.

CLEAR BAG POLICY
Rice-Eccles Stadium will continue to utilize a clear-bag policy, and the stadium will introduce no-bag lines at all major gates to help expedite entry for those not bringing a bag into the stadium.
